I bought my '51 Chevy pickup in August 2009 and wanted to learn as much as I could about this antique truck, so I joined a website for collectors of antique Chevy pickups. The knowledge these collector/mechanics possessed, enjoyed discussing, and were willing to share in their interest was incredible!
I thought, "Where could I go where I could enjoy discussing and sharing something in which I'm interested?"
I remember the moment that I discovered allnurses, at work one night during a lull. Here were nurses, like and unlike myself, discussing a profession for which I had worked at for 30 years!
I felt an instant kindredship, joining immediately, and becoming a paying member, supporting the website, a year later. (I wanted to make sure my interest was not just a whim.)
Been here since I was thinking of applying to nursing school. Or maybe I did apply, I forget. ?
**Just looked.. I joined right after getting accepted to nursing school. I only applied to one. Was about to start applying for others.. Like that was my plan for that week or the next week.
oh WOW!, I joined in 2005! The years fly by and I don't get on here as much as I used to but I still check in now and then. Since coming here, I went from LPN to ADN to BSN and changed jobs. Overall, I've been a nurse since 1987.
